I Think I Saw Stickman Bangkok

[JimTripper]

Are there any photo’s of stickman bangkok?

 

I think I saw him the other night walking. I checked on his site later on out of curiosity,  have not read it for years, then found out he just returned to Bangkok in the last couple days after years of being away and was walking around areas like soi cowboy and patpong.

 

Are there any known pictures of him?

[steven100]

are you sure it was him?     what did he look like ?

[Hummin]

Im sure he appreciates someone outing him for being back on AN ????

 

Is he a public guy at all? Except he had the blog for years under the name Stickman.

Maybe it was "notstickman" wonder what happened to him?

From what I can decipher from the above, it could have been stickman, notstickman, not stickman or not notstickman.

 

I need another beer.

There used to be a guy called notstickman that used to call out stickman on his articles, got to be a big argument

I don't doubt you for a moment. I was just hypothesising that it might not have been notstickman. Let's hope that notstickman doesn't have a detractor called notnotstickman, because if it also wasn't him the OP saw then I'm going to break my keyboard.

And maybe it was even stickboy of whom you can easily find pictures

Please don't, I'm tying myself up in nots.

I'm confused.....  If you think you saw him how do you know this unless you have a picture of him yourself.

He is a member on here. His recent blog post says he asked about something on this forum. I will go back and find the subject and isolate him on here that way. Do a search on recent threads and post it here.

 

I saw just an “out of place” guy in patpong in the evening and my intuition immediately said stickman Bangkok. He looked familiar so I thought I may have seen his picture somewhere before, just don’t remember where.

 

he was an overweight white guy, mid 60’s I guess, or older. Had a fedora type brim hat. Google mismatched eyes (like Jeff bezos).  He looked out of place, but not a tourist, or a typical expat clothing or vibe. Hard to describe. I noticed him right away. Wanted to ask him if he was stickman but lost him on the sidewalk.

 

There was something very curious about him. I don’t usually notice people that way. I’m not gay so it was not a secular thing.

[bignok]

This is him.

[Yellowtail]

It was him. I saw him too.

He was standing next to Elvis on the corner of Silom and 3rd

Now there's a character.

 

I seem to remember he had a brother.  He sold frying pans.  Can't remember his name though... ????

I guess, Stickman is more like mid-fifties...

[OneMoreFarang]

I just deleted my previous post. That was about the boy. Forget about it.

 

Personally I stopped reading stickman many years ago because he posted wrong or sponsored information.

Some people pointed out that he wrote things like G-Spot and Rainbow and BlaBla are great bars. Everybody knew that about G-Spot and Rainbow but nobody heard about BlaBla before. Guess why he mentioned that...

When I was a kid in England, 50s into the 60s, the Daily Mail used to have someone called Lobby Lud who would spend a day in various holiday resorts during the summer. Readers were alerted to which town he would be in and if you thought you spotted him you could approach him and say 'You are Lobby Lud and I claim my ten pounds'. And you had to be carrying a copy of the paper to win. Must have annoyed loads of people who weren't him and now, in these PC days, kids would not be encouraged to approach strange men.

That would not be him, so you've seen a Not Stickman. Still it could have been a Notstickman, but more likely a Not Notstickman. Or you could have seen the ghost of Trink, known to appear sometimes in the Patpong area.

 

Though I don't know for sure, I believe Stickman is fairly thin, maybe 180 cm, and late 40s. I think you can Google and find images of him online.

He must have got desperate for money.

That was from me, something I posted here and also passed on to Stickman, who is a long-time friend of mine. He's back for a short period, a plan he mentioned several times as the time of his visit approached. His column published today (Sunday) describes his recent rounds.

I think stickman is from having a cane, not being thin, isn’t it?

Is that visual description I gave of him above accurate? If he does not want to be known, you don’t have to say.

Nothing like. I'll not publish any photos I have because he does appreciate his privacy. You came up with a half-decent description of Mekong Kurt though, less so of Bernard Trink.

He adopted the name after regularly seeing a man with a cane in the days before he moved to Thailand and started the site. A strange choice to call himself that.

I think r rated mags are called stick books hence the name.

Yes, it’s strange how certain people can make an impression on us and we never really know why. Maybe the guy I saw made an impression and I used stickman to find a “why” but it was not him at all.
